I found the whole thing btw. I’m gonna read it after work as a form of self harm:

Edit: fuck it I’m reading it at work
Only by working together can the Have-Nots realize the true power of Activism.
:agony:
The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of struggles between those who Have, and those who Have-Not.
:agony-yehaw:
From the moment when personal power can no longer be converted into a social power capable of being monopolised, i.e., from the moment when individual ideas or beliefs can no longer be transformed into the perpetuation of the power of the entrenched interests of the Haves, the limiting and regressive force that is individuality vanishes. What replaces it is the power of Activism.
:agony-turbo:
The “dangerous class”, what might be called lumpenhavenot
lumpenhavenot
LUMPENHAVENOT

:agony-consuming:
Thank you for subjecting yourself to this so I don't have to
oh i've got plenty of lumps for these guys just as soon as I find 'em
There is a strand of activism running through... hedge funds pressuring underperforming companies
do they really believe this? are they just phoning it in? is it just a grift? hard to get mad about something so obviously incorrect.
it's conservatives/neolibs ostensibly trying to get inside the radlib mind (something they don't understand) by adapting the writing of Marx and Engels (something they really don't understand). i think they're just bullshitting to fill pages
This is a completely baffling effort, I could not imagine who wrote this or why or for what imagined audience. Your explanation does make some sense though.
MARX AND ENGELS WOULD HAVE BEEN ABOUT CHANGE.ORG PETITIONS HOLY FUCK THIS HAS TO BE A FUCKING JOKE I HATE THIS SO MUCH, EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS SUCKS SO BAD
this isn’t even revisionism, I don’t know what the fuck this is, I literally want to remove my brain stem after reading this shit
The original Manifesto’s top 10 “pretty generally applicable” proposals wouldn’t get a passing grade today in any setting. Left and right alike reject its arguments on labour and property.
Really
Why... Why did I read that. My brain got smoother with each sentence.
